Bruno Mars Donates $1 Million to Help Victims of Flint Water Crisis

It seems, singer Bruno Mars is spreading some
of his 24K magic to help people who are in need.

During a stop
on his sold-out 24K Magic World Tour, the powerhouse singer surprised the
audience at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Michigan, when he announced that he
would be donating a whopping $1 million from the show to provide aid to the
victims of the Flint water crisis.

The
"Versace on the Floor" singer wowed the crowd when he briefly stopped
the show to make the big announcement. "I'm very thankful to the Michigan
audience for joining me in supporting this cause," Mars said in a
statement.

"Ongoing
challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it's important that we
don't forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster. As people,
especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure something like
this never happens in any community ever again," continued the singer.

From the
show tonight, Mars and Live Nation have redirected funds to The Community
Foundation of Greater Flint. The Community Foundation of Greater Flint is
currently addressing the multitude of issues facing the city after the water
crisis and resulting disaster from the effects of the population's exposure to
